TLDR because the headline confused me and might confuse some other people:

Coffee stain are being spun off into an independent company (I think it's going to be publicly traded but that's from memory and not in the article) called Coffee Stain and friends.

Embracer is changing their own name to Fellowship Entertainment and they plan to release 76 games. None of the changes described in the headline after Coffee stain being spun off affect them since they will be seperate from embracer

Ah thank you, even the article didn't say that clearly. That's better, I'd be sad if it was not Coffeestain anymore, but still a bit nervous

Yeah, it seems that right now, even though embracer is public, whoever is in charge of coffee stain at embracer know to just leave them alone and they will continue to make and publish good games (satisfactory, drg) that also print money. My concern is that if coffee stain becomes a public independent company it removes that separation between coffee stain and the shareholders that exists right now, so they will start messing with things to make number go up.

My primary worry too there. While being under a giant publisher isn't a good thing, we did get games like Satisfactory and DRG. Messing with the formula at all right now is risky
